i'm a latino myself. we understand the very clear differences between what mitt romney is trying to sell the latino people and what president obama has shown in his bold leadership. so we just need to continue to show that contrast between the two. i think, frankly, that it's too late for mitt romney amongst the latino community. now it's our job to just ensure that those people that are enthusiastic actually translate to turning their ballots in. >> okay. thanks, rick. >> thanks so much. >>> here's a look at the other stories topping the news now. while george zimmerman prepares for a court hearing today, the parents of trayvon martin are responding to the defense attorney's request to release their son's school records. they say his school records are irrelevant. >> trayvon was the victim and i think it's wrong that we attack the victim and i just feel that as human beings that our first priority shouldn't be to assassinate the character of the victims and make dead children seem as though they're the p

the county admits it made a mistake and says it has been fixed, but latino groups are simply not happy with that. joe johns joining us now from washington. joe, a couple of voter/ballot issues to talk to you about today. you just did your documentary. that was released over the weekend. this wrong date -- spanish language cards in arizona, the implications are potentially pretty huge, and it is difficult for anyone to think that proofreading couldn't have, like, caught that error before they all went out? >> yeah. i mean, the first thing you do is you look up and say how did they make that mistake, but for the record, the county officials there in marakopa county is saying this only happened to something like 50 voter registration cards out of two million. they say they made an honest mistake. this is attracting a lot of attention because arizona has been all over the news for its handling of latinos. the supreme court right now has a case penned beforing it on whether the state can require proof of citizenship for voter registration. marakopa county is the home of the controversial sh

for latino voters. the economy was the first issue of most important to them in terms of the presidential vote choice. immigration was a close second. roughly one in four latino voters said in the data said that immigration was the major reason going to the poll. we is see how it's benefiting barack obama in the election. interestingly catholics are more likely to back romney there's a gender gap romney does among best white catholic men obama managing to hold a slight lead among catholic women. as least of late september. with respect to the view on abortion, the health and human services birth control mandate, religious freedom and the churl of dependency. it appears that the bishop vocal mandate is not stopping most catholics from sporting it. at least from the supplies to catholic hospitals or universities. there is more opposition, however, amanage catholics more generally and making churches offer birth control as the insurance policy for the employees. i think data here paint an interesting pick

think the hostility that the republic party has shown to the african-american community and to the latino community and the whole voter suppression movement of trying to limit how many people can vote, voter i.d., disenfranchisement, and there's a backlash. that's something that's going to motivate people in a new way. >> i think there is something of a thrill still there for most people. i think you're talking about a fringe that are disappointed now, but most understand the historic importance of a black president. i wonder if you talked to people about how they would feel, the pain they might feel if obama was not re-elected. >> that is a very good point, and i think that's become clearer and clearer over the last few weeks. i mean, i'll be hohn with you. i went to a snoop dogg concert in may, and i was disturbed by some of the young people who basically said, look, obama has got four years. it's time for somebody new. what's the other guy's name? i don't know. >> they're not going to vote, though, are they? >> it's the attention deficit dysfunctional syndrome. i think as we've gone th

real race going on, i think you see a very strong minority turnout for both the african-american and latino simply because this horrible voter suppression law that finally got stayed by the state supreme court. >> governor, i want to make sure. if romney wins, i get you back on the program and we can talk about folks in the media and folks on the left blaming racism and voter suppression, then? >> only if there's a studio in toronto. no, i'm only kidding. >> well played. >> fair enough. >> governor, i want to follow-up a little bit on that possible romney victory scenario. it's obviously real at it this point. you cite the example when bush won in 2001 despite all of the contentiousness democrats did work with him in his first term. you look at how republicans greeted obama's election in 2008, however, it was a strategy of reflexive object position and total and complete obstruction. it was really strategic. we'll deny him bipartisan achievements and spend the next four years railing about broken promises, he didn't make washington work again and all this stuff from mitt romney. i'm wonderi

the president and national latino leaders dedicated a new national monument for chavez today. we have a flurry of new tv ads to dissect. we're going to get to at least a couple we hope. first one, let me ask you, michelle, the romney campaign released a new tved a with a liar argument. here is a part of it. >> president obama continues to distort mitt romney's plan. the latest not telling the truth about the tax plan. even the obama campaign admitted it wasn't true. >> jennifer: actually i'm going to ask this one of karl, because the romney campaign isn't telling anybody whether the ad is running. >> i think it's disenginous and ironic that they would release an ad calls lying, and not tell anybody where it is returning. if you want to give 20% tax cuts to every american that is $5 trillion. what is difficult is to get really detailed on romney's plans when they are not laid out specifically. so what you find from the fact checkers is that they are not being completely accurate but they always put in there the disclaimer, but it's difficult because we don't know what romney ha
